The Op Games has launched Flip 7, a new push-your-luck card game from inventor Eric Olsen.

In Flip 7, players must flip over cards one by one without flipping the same number twice. The twist is that the amount of each numbered card in the deck matches the card value – so there is one 1 card, two 2 cards, and so on up to 12. This means tension mounts as each round progresses, with the choice to hit or stay getting riskier with every move.

Players rack up points corresponding to the sum of their hand, while chasing the ‘Flip 7’ move – flipping seven unique cards in a row, which immediately ends the round and gains the player 15 bonus points.

Flip 7 also includes special action cards – Flip Three, Freeze, and Second Chance – that present players with more complex strategic decisions, as well as modifier cards that add or multiply points.

“Flip 7 is a simple yet captivating game that is perfect for all ages and occasions,” said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op Games.

“We know a game is a hit when everyone at the office can’t stop playing it, so we’re very excited to finally release Flip 7 and see families and friends come together to enjoy this casually competitive delight.”

The Op Games has launched its latest party game, Dadada.

The game sees players draw cards featuring everyday objects, actions and concepts. Players must then use a variety of sounds to group these cards and create unique words for each selection. Once this ‘language’ is created, players must test their ability to communicate by drawing new cards and helping their team identify what’s on it – using only their brand-new words.

“Dadada is more than just a game; it’s an opportunity to explore the beauty of bringing people together through the versatility of language,” said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op Games.

“It fosters creativity and creates laughter – we can’t wait to see players release their inner child when they get their hands on Dadada.”

Dadada is available now.

The Op Games has welcomed a co-operative element to its popular Blank Slate party game with the launch of Blank Slate Challenge.

This version of the game sees players pick up a Word Cue card, write down the two words they believe best complete the phrase and attempt to match their partner’s response exactly – without any hints.

“So many partners were playing Blank Slate trying to match one another – and that is exactly what Blank Slate Challenge is about,” said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op Games.

“It’s not just about guessing words; it’s about understanding how others think and anticipating their choices.”

The Op has launched an adults-only version of Tapple called Tapple After Dark.

Tapple challenges players to tap letters of the portable wheel as they come up with words for various categories – all before the 10-second timer runs out… But in this adult version of the game, players’ wits – and comfort zone – will be pushed with cards prompting players to name things like “SOMETHING YOU LICK” or things found “AT A BACHELOR PARTY”.

“We’re excited to have Tapple After Dark join the ranks of our adults-only party games alongside Telestrations After Dark – another classic family game success that we’ve adapted for late-night game nights,” said Dane Chapin, CEO of The Op Games.

“This new version is sure to amp up the hilarity of game nights – whether it’s college gatherings, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or nights in with friends.”

Tapple After Dark is available now exclusively in Target stores and online at Target.com.
